ST. LOUIS -- The Cardinals put infielder Jhonny Peralta on the 10-day disabled list Thursday with an upper respiratory infection and activated reliever Tyler Lyons.
Peralta won the starting third-base job coming out of spring training, but -- batting .120 -- had lost playing time to Greg Garcia and Jedd Gyorko in recent games. He expressed some frustration with his situation following Wednesday's 2-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Peralta, 34, hasn't played since Saturday.
"It's happened to me before, but at the same time I've played on a couple different teams and before they had confidence in me," Peralta said.
